Evidence of new birth is that we see the rule of God.
From James 4:7-8: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter the situation.
Focus on remedies, not faults.
You may delay, but time will not.
Well done is better than well said.
When the dream of our heart is one that God has planted there, a strange happiness flows into us. At that moment, all of the spiritual resources of the universe are released to help us.
From Matthew 6:7-8: “When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”

Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
From Philippians 4:8: “Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.
Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason.
The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one’s self.
From Proverbs 19:8: “To get wisdom is to love oneself; to keep understanding is to prosper.”
Humor can be one of our best survival tools.
Humor does not diminish the pain–it makes the space around it get bigger.

Politicians are like ships: nosiest when lost in a fog.
Oratory is the art of making a loud noise sound like a deep thought.
The reason some of us are such poor specimens of Christianity is because we have no Almighty Christ. We have Christian attributes and experiences, but there is no abandonment to Jesus Christ.
From John 4:11-14: “The woman said to him, ‘Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it? Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’ The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.'”
